I'm loving the game, but still have a ton of nitpicks. Many of them are the same as the first two.
A new one for this game is nobody quite looking like they did in the 1st or 2nd game.

Joker line of the game (so far):

Now all we need is a gun that shoots thresher maws.

I've been building my Galactic Readiness up through the IOS game Infiltrator and the ME3 Data Pad app. Data Pad is sort of like a Tamagotchi in that you need to send fleets to different planets and wait hours for them to complete their missions. In turn you gain resources.

I have my share of nitpicks about the game but nothing that deters me from playing it or makes me groan. It's not perfect by any means but ME is one of my favorite franchises. I can overlook a lot of things just as I've done with Final Fantasy, Fallout and Skyrim.

My favorite quote was from Purgatory. I think I overheard a woman realizing she had tits or something like that. Anyone else remember?

Yeah, this game is no Dark Souls, it doesn't even feel like work to go scanning!

My major gripe has to do with the endings, and I will be more than happy to voice them once more people have beaten it.

Though a lot of "minor" issues like importing your character and losing love interests really did grate me the wrong way.

YES, nothing feels like work. I HATE when games feel like work.

I still can't seem to get From The Ashes to start! I've re-downloaded it too, hmmm

Me either. I'm a good chunk in and it just won't show up. $10 day-one DLC that doesn't work? Oh BioWare

[GENTLYPORKING]

Besides some goofiness with animation, I've had 0 problems with the PC version (From Ashes even ran with no issues).

It's funny because ME2 gave me a bunch of problems -- terrible frame rate popping once in a while and it would crash every few hours.

[Norrin_Radd]

So the From Ashes DLC is just not triggering for you guys? Does it not even show up in your quest log? Are you able to go to Eden Prime?

I

It's not on my quest log at all

Go to Eden Prime, eh? I haven't tried this as nothing in the game ever suggested I should so it never crossed my mind...not sure if the planet is even accessible, heh.

It's in your Journal as "Priority: Eden Prime".

I believe you need to go to your personal terminal to receive an email telling you to go there, after your first Citadel visit, I think.

[Norrin_Radd]

I do recall someone telling me about it at some point, in game. But yeah, by the time I got to it, I was like "Priority: Eden Prime? Ummm, ok, what's that."

The one great strength I think this game has, over all the other ME games, is they are not holding anything back from you anymore. All of the fiction is coming to a head right before your eyes. It seems like everything that has ever been hinted at or alluded to is not being shied away from this time. As a long running fan of the series (even having read the first 3 novels) I am filled with giddy excitement at the idea of visiting some home worlds, and flat out dealing with long running cosmic dilemmas in order to unite the galaxy.

A few hours in, intentionally vague Spoiler:

I have never felt more like Picard in a game than when I am playing arbiter for 2 blood enemies in my conference room. This game is crazy.

Yeah, that's definitely not in my journal as before my session last night I cleaned up a bunch of secondary missions, only 1 priority remained and I just returned to the Citadel after

I've used my personal terminal a bunch too...hmm

Yeah. My ME2 run was plagued by me getting stuck in environments all the time. Can't tell you how many times I ran into a table or some other elevated object, only to get warped inside the ceiling above it or something. Thank god for quick saves. No such trouble with ME3, so far anyway.
I was just running around in Citadel, and the way you see your shipmates in there (after the first priority mission I think) reminded me of Star Ocean 2 in a weird way.

That's assuming the DLC is working and doesn't require re-downloading it.
